“Increasing Automation in Various Industries”
- A significant and accelerating trend in the global solenoid valve market is the increasing integration of automation technologies across industries such as oil & gas, water treatment, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing, aimed at enhancing operational efficiency, safety, and precision in fluid control processes
- For instance, Emerson Electric Co. offers smart solenoid valves that support predictive maintenance through real-time monitoring, helping industries reduce unplanned downtime. Similarly, Danfoss provides electrically actuated solenoid valves optimized for automated HVAC and refrigeration systems, ensuring energy efficiency and consistent performance
- Automated solenoid valves are increasingly used in process industries to remotely control the flow of hazardous or high-pressure fluids, ensuring minimal human intervention and maximizing safety. For instance, Bürkert’s solenoid valve systems are designed for seamless integration into industrial automation networks, enabling precise and responsive fluid handling
- The adoption of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and SCADA systems in factory automation has further propelled demand for solenoid valves capable of integrating with these platforms. This allows real-time data exchange, improved diagnostics, and centralized control of fluid processes across large industrial operations
- This trend toward automation is transforming fluid control systems from manual or semi-automated setups to fully intelligent and responsive networks. As a result, companies such as Parker Hannifin and ASCO (a brand of Emerson) are continuously advancing solenoid valve technology to align with Industry 4.0 requirements, offering valves that are IoT-compatible and support digital communication protocols
- The growing demand for automated, connected, and intelligent valve systems is significantly reshaping industry expectations, pushing manufacturers to develop solenoid valves that are reliable and efficient and also compatible with smart industrial ecosystems
